To answer the Deputy's first question, the 5% is standard. We have checked this across Europe and so on.

To answer her second question, this is just the replacing of words. Inadvertently some words were placed in the Bill. We received legal advice on this to the effect that these words needed to be replaced to bring substance to what that particular section of the Bill is about. That is the only reason for it. We got expert opinion on that. I hope that clarifies those points for the Deputy.
